PC Port Report: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
Feb 23
// Darren Nakamura
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty (Linux, Mac, Windows [tested])Developers: Just Add Water Developments, Ltd.Publisher: Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc.Released: February 25, 2015MSRP: $19.99Rig: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.2 GHz, with 4GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5700, Windows 7 64-bit A lot of the heavy lifting was already done for the console version, but it bears repeating: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is a fantastic visual upgrade from Abe's Oddysee. The environments are all rebuilt and rendered in-engine, making the transitions between nearby areas smoother than the original. Seeing Oddworld in high definition is a treat. Loading times have been significantly reduced. Control is a little strange with a keyboard, at least for somebody who is more familiar with console controls. With full controller compatibility this wasn't an issue past my initial experiments to see how it works on a keyboard. There were some issues with listed button prompts when switching between keyboard and controller mid-game, but for my only complaint, it's pretty minor. The main point to note is that the PC port is technically competent; it is comparable to the PlayStation 4 version. I experienced no bugs, glitches, or even slowdown, which is great considering my rig isn't exactly state-of-the-art. [embed]288023:57455:0[/embed] Unsurprisingly, the Steam Achievements are the same as the PS4 Trophies, down to the artwork and descriptions. Steam Trading Card support is present, with Badges to craft and backgrounds to collect. A couple of the trading cards feature concept art unavailable in the console build. It isn't much, but it might be the one noticeable difference in the PC version. There is no Steam Workshop support, as Oddworld would have to be significantly tweaked to include user-created content. As a pie-in-the-sky idea, it could have been fantastic, but its nonexistence doesn't hurt New 'n' Tasty at all. Cooperative mode remains as bafflingly unnecessary as it has always been; it achieves the same thing that handing a controller to a nearby friend does. Alf's Escape, the piece of downloadable content released last August for New 'n' Tasty on PlayStation 4, is immediately available for PC. Altogether, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty transitioned well to PC. Although it doesn't take full advantage of the platform, it has not lost anything in translation. If anything, the Steam version is a marginal improvement with a wider choice in control, the usual Steam baubles included, and a lower price tag. So I can breathe a sigh of relief. One of my favorite games from the late '90s got a great remaster last year, and it moved to my platform of choice without a hiccup. Oddworld has always been a dark, fantastic place to explore, and the upgrade to New 'n' Tasty has only made it more consuming.
Like Chris, I had my first taste of Oddworld when it was new, back on the PlayStation in 1997. Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus were two of my favorite titles from that era, so when Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty was announced, I was...

Exploring the depths of the ocean in Assassin's Creed IV
Aug 09
// Dale North
The naval battles return in a big way, but to really explore the ocean means jumping in. For the first time in Assassin's Creed IV you can access the ocean from anywhere in the game's world; you're immediately in, with no loading or transitions. But, before jumping in, stop and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. No -- really look at it. Ubisoft Singapore put a lot of work into making the ocean as realistic as possible. They traveled to the Caribbean for research in order to nail the look, and put their research into even the smallest details, like new tech for the look of the sand and sunlight. They even have simulations for sea foam, with controls that can vary how it'll look when it washes up on sand or pools around rocks. They're not messing around when it comes to realism The water's surface in ACIV on next-gen consoles is stunning. It shimmers in the sunlight in a way that makes you want to take a snapshot. All of their technical work combines to make for some postcard worthy imagery. ACIV's engine is doing crazy work under the hood to make the waves look realistic, and that kicks into overdrive when simulating what happens when objects like ships move through it. We saw examples of how the engine scales from calm waters to massive storms realistically -- impressive stuff. Ubisoft Singapore says that you can expect the water to look very good on current-gen consoles, but some water appearance features are only available on next-gen systems. Ubisoft Singapore Senior Technical Director, Georges Torres, told us that they saw next-gen as an opportunity to do what they wanted with water in ACIII but didn't have the resources for. If you're looking for technical specifics of what you'd see in the next-gen over current generation versions, Torres says adaptive tessellation tech is the major thing. Expect more detailed waves -- a third frequency of wave is possible with next-gen consoles, over the two of ACIII. Also, the way the water interacts with objects in it will look better. For example, objects that fall into water will appropriately displace water. On the rendering side, there's much more detail to see with the new consoles' versions. Underwater is equally as lovely. Ubisoft Singapore has done a fine job in creating an underwater world you'll want to explore. Swim to whatever catches your fancy, enjoying the sea life that glitters among the almost glowing coral reef. You might see a treasure chest in the distance, but keep in mind your oxygen limitation. Oh, and sharks. While you can harpoon sharks from a boat, you're totally helpless underwater. The running and climbing gameplay we've come to expect from the franchise can't take place underwater, Ubisoft Singapore has worked in some similar elements for underwater navigation. Players can swim wherever they'd like, and once they get going they can pull on fixed objects to propel them forward as sort of a speed boost. It's not just flat swimming -- there's pushing and pulling on objects, escaping sea creatures, getting caught in water currents and more. There's some motivation for diving beyond just sightseeing. Of course, just as in pirate days, there's treasure and money to be found. Also, blueprints can be retrieved from underwater to improve your ship. There was no capability for this underwater exploration in the existing game engine, so Ubisoft Singapore was tasked with creating it. Torres told us that it was from scratch. He said that they altered the perspective over the last game so that the player could see water, jump in it, explore it, and swim out of it back onto land seamlessly. Torres said that unifying these aspects of play wasn't easy. Moving from the ocean inland, a lot of loading needs to happen in the background for a seamless setting transition to happen for the player, and that's not to mention the animation sets that have to change the character itself. He said it looks natural, and seems simple, but in reality some very complex stuff goes on under the hood to make it all work. From what we saw of live gameplay at the studio, seeing it in action looks perfect, so here's a tip of our pirate hat to the team. But it's not just graphics and animation at work here. Torres told us that they've developed a full series of technologies to make the underwater experience as immersive and realistic as possible. The Singapore team built tech for the visuals, coloring, particle effects, ecosystem, animations, underwater audio, underwater behaviors, swimming simulations and much more. Even the way the light filters through water to create a sense of depth was a focus for them. The takeaway here is that Ubisoft Singapore put a lot of hard work to draw players into the deep. Full teams were tasked with making the underwater experience as realistic and immersive as possible. Maybe Assassin's Creed IV open-world underwater exploration will make up for all of the crappy underwater levels we've had to put up with over the years.

I killed Darth Vader by crashing a spaceship into him 10/10
Watched the first ep of One Punch Man and I was not disappointed. It seems like they'll be adding their own stories into it because I don't remember that fight in the last 5 minutes in the manga. I'll have to reread it to make sure.

What the hell is Sega using in the printing of their PS3 game manuals? I wouldn't be surprised if some dumb kid stuck one in a plastic bag and started huffing the fumes to get high.

Why don't we have more games that use filtered 3D models to creat faux-pixel art? It's such a cool, smooth style, but you never see any games using it.

Just returned from my trip and made scans of a couple of the characters of my myster g-face.
They actually match up quite well with Goudy's Garamont, coincidentally, but the numberals are off slightly. (And it is possible the numerals are a different face, but I somewhat doubt it.)

Subject: [PPLetterpress] Re: Best-Loved Faces (was Linotypesetting)
I've used these all in my "metal type years," and I'd agree you can
always trust a good Garamond. But I think the thread was about digital
type. In that case, I don't know of anyone who is offering or owns the
rights to the ATF Garamond, but Monotype Imaging has the Granjon
(which I've used and thought quite good, though in modified version)
and P22 is offering Goudy's Garamont (as part of the Lanston
Typography collection). Which I have been tempted to buy. Always liked
its funk. But Garamond doesn't always start with a "g." Sabon, as a
for instance. And, I really like the Old Claude that LetterPerfect put
out; despite that it is faux letterpress, the settings are quite good.
Besides, there is a bit of a controversy over what is a Garamond,
isn't there? or more to the point, are all the Garamond faces
appropriately attributed?
As an aside, once upon a time, I met with Nicolas Barker, as an
interview for a project, and he promptly started out with the idea
that the first digital type program, Karow's (?), was actually an
attempt to have the computer determine the Garamondness of Garamond.
Apparently not all that successful.

Scot Wingo | February 15, 2001 | Comments
You want maximum exposure for your affiliate program. But you want minimum cost. Then it's time to get back to basics. Here are some resources to help.
Driving home from work yesterday, I thought about the various low-cost marketing initiatives used to launch our affiliate program. I looked at our current strategies and realized that we needed to go back to the basics.
Over 85 percent of Web surfers search using search engines and Web directories. So, positioning your program where there is the most visibility is a smart tactical move. Enter search optimization. For maximum exposure, list your affiliate program in a wide range of places. Get your name out there. Target vertical affiliate directories and the top 400 search engines.
Learn the Basics
To make the right choices on where to list, start with the difference between a search engine and a Web directory. Search engines use technology to crawl the Web and index pages and sites. A Web directory relies on humans to develop listings. Check out How Search Engines Work.
You can also check out these resources:
Start Small, but List!
Your goal is to obtain highly qualified traffic and affiliates through the best listings. The first step is to start small by assigning one of your affiliate team members to manage this task. Before you start listing, you'll need:
Next, start listing. Here are a few free listing resources:
Short on Time and Resources?
Select a company with search engine optimization (SEO) as a core competency. Or benefit from pay-for-performance sites such as GoTo.com to attract high-quality leads and reduce affiliate acquisition costs.
Increase your program's visibility with vertical affiliates and specialized resources.
Here are some vertical affiliates:
And here are some SEO resources:
Continued Support
You've listed your program and optimized performance and placement within search engines and Web directories. Now it's time to check your results ranking.
Conduct a simple test: Visit sites where you've listed your program and type "affiliate program." Track where you are listed, how high you fall in the listings, and what the affiliate acquisition costs and conversion rates are. Ideally, you will have great conversion rates and be ranked in the top 20 (preferably the top 10) in the listings.
So to win in the affiliate game, you need to mind the basics. Learn, start small, and always continue your support. And you'll drive your program to wherever you want it to be.

"I can entirely recommend the repose. When you arrive you get a marrocan tea with a full tray of delicious maroccan pastry, cherries and date..."
About the hotel
The Repose is an oasis of calm in the heart of Salé's traditional medina, which is just across the River Bouregreg from Morocco's capital, Rabat, on the Atlantic coast. Lovingly restored by the owners, Rachid and Jan, this luxury riad has been renovated and decorated using traditional materials and craftsmanship (with a modern and subtle touch) to give a haven of peace and tranquility. The whole riad oozes Moroccan charm and each of the 4 suites has its own unique identity.
The salon is ideal for dining in the cooler months, reading a book or playing games. The courtyard is great for sipping tea, listening to the splashes of the fountain, while the terrace is fabulous for breakfast, sunbathing or siestas in the shade. With Rachid and Jan on-site, the hospitality and customer service are second-to-none and the combination of their local knowledge and awareness of international expectations ensures a warm and comfortable stay.

I can entirely recommend the repose.
When you arrive you get a marrocan tea with a full tray of delicious maroccan pastry, cherries and dates. The owner is very friendly. Breakfast is served on the beautiful roof terrace. The only negative point the got is because the orange juice was not so tasty as it usually is all over Morocco. You just have to know that the Riad is not in Rabat itself, but in the neighbour city Salé. Which is not a problem, because you can catch the tram (about 10 min walk from the Riad).

You remember the Sega Genesis game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, right? That was an unusual one. Against the backdrop of Michael's greatest tunes pumped out by the Genesis' good old chunky soundchip, you rescued topless children from car trunks and defeated gangsters, zombies and mean Doberman dogs by using "star magic" to force them to dance. I remember feeling like the 16-bit graphics were really plausible.
Michael E Michael is a two-player fighting game between two identical Michael sprites that, if they aren't recycled Moonwalker assets, sure look like it. You have 30 seconds to collect star power and unleash your special moves by dancing at the rival Michael. It's super weird. Did you know he could transform into a spaceship?
It is, of course, from the Duplicade jam, which we've really been enjoying here at Offworld—brief two-player games that look like they've been peeled out of an illegal knock-off bargain bin.
Augustus Sol Invictus, a Tallahassee, Florida candidate for US Senate, once walked from Florida to the Mojave Desert as part of a ritual that culminated in him sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood.
"I did sacrifice a goat," he said. "I know that's probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans. I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness ... Yes, I drank the goat's blood."
Invictus, 32, is running as a Libertarian but the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida, Adrian Wyllie, is critical of Invictus for many reasons.
"He is the absolute exact opposite of a Libertarian," Wyllie says. "He's a self-proclaimed fascist. He's promoting a second civil war."
For his part, Invictus, who changed his birth name to the Latin phrase meaning "majestic unconquered sun," says he isn't trying to ignite a war and that it's already started anyway.
"The only question is when are the citizens going to start fighting back?" he said. "I don't think I'm the only person who sees a cataclysm coming, but I think I'm the only person saying it, and I think that scares people."

You might best know Spry Fox for games like Triple Town or, more recently, Alphabear, designs so timeless and solid that they firmly wedge themselves into your regular mobile play rotation.
The studio's Road Not Taken is lots riskier and stranger, though, and in a good way. A ruthless winter has descended upon a quaint, fantastical town (the cute and creative art of Meowza in fine form), and the surrounding forests are full of lost children who need to be reunited with their parents.
The forests are also full of wolves, fire spirits, beehives and many kinds of trees, and you'll need to learn how to slide them around so you can solve puzzles, reach the lost kids, and discover other mysteries, like how to make fire (put two dry logs beside each other) or honey (line up three beehives). https://youtu.be/SyLcTQ9bObM
It's part adventure, part structural puzzle, with a number of interesting additional components to manage and enjoy: Between forest puzzles you can try to befriend the local villagers or play with your cat at home—even the house you quickly earn is full of mysteries. Road Not Taken is tough to describe (possibly why it's so much less-known relative to Spry Fox's more radio-friendly games), but definitely worth a try. You're very quickly pulled into its atmosphere, which manages to be lonesome and forbidding just as much as it is cozy and sweet, a perfect companion for dark winter nights in.
This week (the week of October 5, which I think is the game's release anniversary?) Road Not Taken is a stunning 80% off on Steam, so if you'd like to try this unusual but deeply-rewarding work, now would be a good time.
A 54-year-old priest at St. Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic Church in Little Ferry, New Jersey was arrested for endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated assault by pointing a firearm. Father Kevin Carter threatened to shoot the youngster for liking the wrong football team, say witnesses.
From NBC 4 New York:
The priest allegedly approached the boy before Mass services at the church on Sunday, Sept. 13, and asked to see him in one of the rectory rooms, according to prosecutors.
Once they were in the room, the priest allegedly had the boy stand against the wall, then retrieved a musket and pointed it at him, prosecutors said, citing several witnesses.
"As he raised his weapon and pointed it at the boy, he said, 'I'm going to shoot you,'" Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli told NBC 4 New York Friday.
Father Carter's lawyer said his client will plead not guilty.

The leader of the Christian organization eBible Fellowship warns that October 7 "will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away. It'll be gone forever. Annihilated.
"There's a strong likelihood that this will happen. Which means there's an unlikely possibility that it will not," says eBible Fellowship founder Chris McCann.
From The Guardian:
"Christian group predicts the world will be 'annihilated' on Wednesday" (The Guardian)
The expectation of the world ending this fall stems from an earlier prediction by Harold Camping, a Christian radio host who was based in California. In 2011 Camping used his radio station, Family Radio, to notify people that the world would end on 21 May of that year. When that turned out to be incorrect, Camping revised his prediction to October 2011. That also turned out to be incorrect, and Camping retired from public life soon after. He died in 2013, at age 93.
McCann believes that Camping's 21 May 2011 prediction did have some truth, however. That day was declared to be "judgment day" because it was actually the day God stopped the process of selecting which churchgoers will survive Wednesday's massacre, McCann said.
Following 21 May 2011, God turned his attention to deciding which non-churchgoers to save, according to McCann. The eBible Fellowship believes that God said he would devote 1,600 days to this task – bringing us to 7 October 2015.
Chuck E. Cheese is hoping to market itself to "millennial moms" by expanding its beer and wine offerings, selling lattes, and amping up the salad bar. They should put in a boxing ring to ensure better viewing of the infamous Chuck E. Cheese parental brawls that break out at kids birthday parties!
"Her kids know it's a fun place to go, but millennial moms want to provide that great experience without sacrificing for themselves," Greg Casale, head chef of Chuck E. Cheese's parent company CEC Entertainment, told Bloomberg. "Before she was a mom, she was going to places like Panera and those concepts. She wants something that fits into her millennial lifestyle."
The term "cabinet of curiosities" means different things to different people. For the author of this wonderful book for kids, it was a cigar box full of treasures that he started accumulating at the age of six, beginning with the found skull of a skunk. For my brother, it was the annual gift I sent him from The Evolution Store in Manhattan: a shark, bat, crab, scorpion, and a black widow. (Yes, I forced a curiosity cabinet onto him.) For me, it's a combination of anything small, old, and interesting, human-made or nature-made, and preferably a bit on the bizarre side. This book, however, focuses on the natural wonders only, and, specifically, those waiting out there to be found by the young scientists, collectors, and curators of tomorrow.
Nature writer Gordon Grice starts with a bit of history about cabinets of curiosities and the Age of Exploration, during the 1400s-1600s, when seekers of fortune brought home fascinating items from their travels. Many of these items that made up small private collections ended up being the biggest cabinets of curiosities of all: museums. He tells us what we can use to make our own mini cabinets and shows how we can even build one from scratch. From there he introduces us to the classifications of life, with a brief description of the taxonomy – still in use today – created by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish biologist in the 1700s.
The rest of the book is divided into three main sections: Animalia, Plantae, and Mineralium. Grice spends the majority of pages on the animal kingdom. Though plants and rocks have their place in a good cabinet, animals are the clear winners of this book. In examining just a few species, a mere tip of the iceberg, one learns many wonderful facts, such as that ravens will investigate gunshots to see if they result in anything good to eat. Or that a cuckoo bird will shove an egg out of another species' nest and replace it with her own, so that the other bird will raise her young imposter instead. Or that a shark's teeth are the hardest element in its whole body. Or that brown crabs can live for 100 years. We also learn about preservation and display of specimens.
The book carries a few (but not enough) scattered warnings about not collecting live or endangered animals, as well as safety issues and respecting property rights. I wish there were more emphasis on observing or collecting without causing harm or violating laws. For instance, here in Arizona, it is illegal to collect a saguaro boot – the hard "scar tissue" resembling a boot that the cactus builds up around a bird's nest within its body – from the wild. The previously mentioned store sells only legal specimens and is licensed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but I suspect there are a lot of specimens out there that are collected in dubious fashion; all the more reason to find one's own treasures in nature.
This is a beautifully illustrated book that will undoubtedly spark the curiosity in any kid who reads it. Compiling a cabinet of curiosities is a way for a youngster to feel connected to her or his environment, history, the Earth, other creatures, and science. Certainly, every child has a moment in which they begin their own personal age of exploration. – Aaron Downey

New Rosenberg Transcripts to be Released Thanks to Work by National Security Archive
Thanks to an open records lawsuit by the National Security Archive and historical associations, the actual transcripts of previously secret Rosenberg grand jury transcripts will be released on Wednesday, July 15. This key testimony by Ethel Rosenberg's brother, David Greenglass, in the espionage trial from the early 1950s that sent Ethel and Julius Rosenberg to the electric chair on charges of spying for the Soviet Union, may show perjury.
The National Security Archive, located on Gelman's 7th Floor, is an amazing organization that defends public access to government information, advocates for global open government, indexes and publishes former secrets.
Copies of the transcripts will be available on the Archive's web site. The government has announced that the National Archives and Records Administration will also post the transcripts starting at noon on July 15.
You can find out more about the fascinating trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg through several resources at GW Libraries. Pictured here is flyer brought back from Paris by a Mount Vernon Seminary student in 1953 declaring the innocence of the Rosenbergs. You can view this unique, primary document as part of the Marian Herr Holbrook Scrapbook (MVC0006) in the Special Collections Research Center.

Great Apartmentsby nichole123 on 03/18/2010
Colonial Grand at Heathrow is a great place to live. The amenities are always kept very clean the office staff is very nice and friendly and unlike some places the maintenance is very nice and will take the extra time to make sure you are satisfied. I have lived here for about 2 years and have never had a problem with the grounds, staff members or the condition of the apartments. This is a beautiful place and would recommend it to all my friends and family.
STAY AWAY!! Worst Apt. Everby boyer09 on 11/03/2009
In all my years of living in rental units, Colonial Grand by far is the worst ever. The management is completely inept, the apartments are roach infested, the amenities are minimal and disgusting, the walls are paper thin and the apartment are extremely noisy. Don't be crazy enough to rent here; I'm breaking my lease ASAP!!!

It is Palestinian supporters who often patronize and denigrate the Arabs humanity - they continually insist that Hamas holds all the cards - that as long as Shalit is a prisoner that Hamas is winning, etc, etc, Only people who believe that Arabs have no feelings and don't care about their loved ones in jail could argue like that. The Israeli's know that these prisoners want to be free and that their family members long for them. That's why they are refusing to give in on a one sided bad deal.

Too curly at first
This hairpiece was old fashioned and too curly the first time I tried it on, and later I figured out to comb it all the way out, and now it looks very natural and it has lift and volume; now it is my favorite hairpiece. I wish it came in more highlighted colors.
|Overall Rating
It is a life saver!
What a life saver; especially if you are working in the public sector! Easy to look your best with this hair piece. Thanks.....
Looks like real hair.

Lyric is the best
It is actually what you see. No surprises. I had ordered several different types and had to return them They just didn't work for me. This is perfect for my needs. Comfortable and stylish;
|Overall Rating
Angel wing bangs are HEAVENLY!
For fifty years (!) I have worn my hair in some type of updo – sleek yet bouffant in the 60s, more natural in the 70s, curlier in the 80s … etc. However, my hair has grown progressively thinner especially along the front hairline and I thought that I would have to abandon my upswept hair for a full wig. To that end, I bought and have been wearing several wigs (see Mattie and Fame for reviews). I do like these short style wigs and they work fine, but I still longed for my traditional hair-on-top-the-head look. Finally I decided to experiment with a topper; so I ordered Rachel Welch's monofilament Lyric in my natural color R38 and discovered – to my delight – that I could create angel's wings bangs which disguised my thinning hairline. Now I pin up my hair, attach the Lyric topper, blend the bangs into my own hair, and then add more fullness to the top and back with a claw clip of curls. When my husband saw this new upswept style, he swore he had flashbacks to when I was in my twenties and wore my bangs exactly like this! (Of course, since he's seventy-two, both his eyesight and memory might be questioned – but not by me!)
Almost everything: it's light, easy to style, and creates the illusion of real hair. All good!
Small clips do not function well for attachment but bobby pins work well so no problem.
|Overall Rating
Lyric hairpiece
I LOVE this piece. I wear it anytime I leave the house and no one can tell it's not all my hair. The color R14-88 blends so well with my color that even my hairdresser couldn't tell I had it on. It makes me look younger and because there is more hair than I have, the color really brings out my blue eyes and fair skin. Did I say I LOVE it!!!
looks natural, matches my hair, no one can tell. Looks like I just came from the Salon except the salon never looked this well.
I find I have to add a couple of bobby pins to secure it as clips don't usually get it tight enough.
|Overall Rating
I give my new hairpiece a 5 stars, I love it! Thanks
I'm wearing my hairpiece for the very 1st time and I really like it, I'm so glad that I chose this hairpiece. I'm sure that everyone that buys it will be very happy with it. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a new hairpiece.
|Overall Rating
I bought this hair piece in a retail shop. I love it. This adds volumne and hides thinning hair from view. I get stopped in the stores and asked who does your hair. This piece is easy to take care of and easy to but in your own natural hair.
How dark are the colors in the pictures on the website compared to the actual color. My hair is light brown with a reddish tint to it from coloring. I was looking at R3025S or R29S. Can you tell me anymore about them?
Can heat be used on this beautiful hairpiece (curling iron)? Cindy<br>

Allergan announces FDA accepted sNDA for DALVANCE
Allergan announced that the FDA has accepted for filing Allergan's supplemental New Drug Application. This filing will expand the label to include single-dose administration of DALVANCE for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults caused by designated susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The application was based on results from a Phase 3 study DUR001-303, which compared a single 1500 mg dose of DALVANCE with the two-dose regimen of 1000 mg followed one week later by 500 mg. Data demonstrated the 1500 mg single dose of DALVANCE achieved its primary endpoint of non-inferiority to the two-dose regimen at 48 to72 hours after initiation of therapy, as determined by a decrease of greater than 20% in lesion area relative to the baseline measurement.

Allergan valuation provides 'compelling buying opportunity,' says JPMorgan
JPMorgan analyst Chris Schott believes Allergan's "inexpensive valuation" provides investors with a "compelling buying opportunity."

He reiterates an Overweight rating on Allergan with a $400 price target. The stock closed yesterday down $6.07 to $272.51.

Allergan receives approval from FDA to market Juvederm Ultra XC
Allergan announced that the company has received approval from the FDA to market JUVEDERM ULTRA XC for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation in adults over the age of 21. JUVEDERM ULTRA XC instantly adds fullness to the lips and is the only dermal filler that has proven results lasting up to one year for lip augmentation. Since JUVEDERM formulations were first approved in the United States in 2006, physicians and patients have relied on them to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the parentheses lines around the nose and mouth. This heritage has continued with introduction of JUVEDERM(R) VOLUMA XC for age-related mid-face volume loss in 2013, and now, with JUVEDERM ULTRA XC for lip augmentation. In clinical trials of JUVEDERM ULTRA XC, the majority of subjects reported improvement in the softness, smoothness and natural look and feel of their lips through one year. In clinical trials, 79% of subjects showed a meaningful improvement in lip fullness three months after treatment. Additionally, more than 78% of subjects reported an improvement in their overall satisfaction with the look and feel of their lips at one year after treatment.

Allergan volatility at 52-week high on share price pull back

On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
Stocks on Wall Street were slightly higher at midday as the market seeks to break its losing streak, helped by an improvement in consumer confidence that came despite the recent market volatility. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., consumer confidence unexpectedly rose in September. Analysts expected the consumer confidence reading to pull back to 96.8 from the prior 101.5 figure, but it actually strengthened to 103.0. The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite home price index was up a seasonally adjusted 0.2% month over month in July, versus the consensus forecast for a rise of 0.1%. Stocks sold off in much of Asia last night, with China's Shanghai composite index sliding 2% while Japan's Nikkei dropped 4%, erasing year-to-date gains in the process. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Yahoo (YHOO) advanced 3% after its board authorized the company to continue to pursue its spin-off of Aabaco Holdings, a newly formed independent registered investment company that will hold all of Yahoo's remaining holdings in Alibaba Group (BABA). MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Radius Health (RDUS), which rose nearly 10% after Ben Harrington of the Betaville blog stated during an appearance on Tip TV that he has heard that "something will be happening" in terms of M&A involving the company over the "next few weeks." Also higher were several recently beaten down biotech stocks that were seeing some bounceback, including Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), which gained 5%, and Biogen (BIIB), which advanced 4%. Notably, both of them, along with Amgen (AMGN), were mentioned in a note to investors by Cowen analyst Ken Cacciatore as "hypothetical" targets for Allergan (AGN). Among the noteworthy losers was OvaScience (OVAS), which dropped 38% after saying it now longer expects to meet its 2015 goal of 1,000 Augment cycles. Esperion (ESPR) also fell 38% after the company warned that the FDA could require it to undertake new studies before its ETC-1002 is approved. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 7.27, or 0.05%, to 16,009.16, the Nasdaq was up 7.38, or 0.16%, to 4,551.35, and the S&P 500 was up 4.56, or 0.24%, to 1,886.33.
On The Fly: Analyst Initiation Summary

Cowen lists Vertex, Biogen and Amgen as hypothetical Allergan targets
Cowen analyst Ken Cacciatore noted that the price agreed for Allergan's (AGN) generic divestiture to Teva (TEVA) is fixed and that the cash value from this deal has not depreciated in any way while the corresponding valuations of potential targets have corrected, increasing the potential value creation available for Allergan as it decides how to deploy its capital. To illustrate the value creation that Allergan's capital deployment could generate, Cacciatore estimates the type of accretion potential that might be seen if the company were to buy Vertex with an acquisition price of $36.5B, if it were to acquire Biogen (BIIB) at a price of $91B or if it were to purchase Amgen (AMGN) with an acquisition price of $140B. Although the market correction has lowered Allergan's stock, the decline could be viewed as a near-term positive, given that a key component of its strategy and business model is to seek to aggressively deploy its capital, Cacciatore argues in a note to investors. The analyst keeps an Outperform rating and $400 price target on Allergan shares.

Allergan (AGN) intends to begin reporting its Global Generics business as discontinued operations with its third quarter 2015 results. The transaction with Teva (TEVA) is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016.
Allergan sees 10% branded revenue growth after divestiture of generics unit
Following the close of the divestiture of the Generics business to Teva (TEVA), New Allergan (AGN) expects to have a powerful financial profile to drive continued long-term growth: 10% branded revenue growth; Non-GAAP gross margins of 77% to 79% with additional long-term expansion anticipated; Non-GAAP SG&A as a percentage of revenue between 21-24%, declining within that range over time; Non-GAAP tax rate of ~15%; Interest expense for New Allergan will be largely dependent on capital deployment decisions following the close of the transaction; Commitment to investment grade ratings. "New Allergan will have strong double-digit revenue growth and will be a development powerhouse stacked with 70 mid-to-late stage R&D projects to address customer and patient needs," said Brent Saunders, CEO and President. "The New Allergan will be lean and nimble with an expanded margin profile driven by leading brands in seven therapeutic categories, a streamlined operating model with one of the most efficient SG&A as a percentage of sales in the industry, a non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 15 percent, and a simplified manufacturing network globally. The continued robust performance of our overall business and strong mid-to-late stage pipeline puts Allergan in a strong position to meet our growth targets for the remainder of the year and over the long-term."

What's Biting Now
Florida Sportsman Member: Pesca Pimp Panama The Yellowfin Tunas were still around in big numbers but unlike first week of June the Tunas were not up in feeding frenzies and eating everything we pitched at them. The bite slowed down a bit and the weather got a bit sloppy. We had to work for our fish as the Porpoises were keen to the boat traffic and were a bit shy.
Capt. Charlie Phillips, winner of the Fishing NoSara Prize Package given away as top prize for the Florida Sportsman Dreamboat Contest earlier this year, returns from his fishing vacation this week.
The history of bluefin tuna fishing at Cat Cay goes way back—back to the start of big game fishing in Florida. In fact Cat Cay—a tiny, one-by-two-mile island about 60 miles east of Miami—is closely linked with all American big game fishing, because the pursuit of the giant bluefin there and off Bimini just a few miles to the north in the spring and early summer shaped the early development of big game tackle, boats and angling in the country.
